Helen Theresa (DiNardo) Case
HORNELL – Helen Theresa (DiNardo) Case, passed away peacefully Wednesday evening (July 12, 2023) at her home on Cedar Street.
Born in Hornell, she was a daughter of the late Domenic and Teresa (DiVito) DiNardo. On Sept. 17, 1968 she was married in Batavia, NY to Everett Charles Case, who predeceased her on Aug. 27, 1994 after nearly 26 years of marriage. Besides her parents and husband, she was also predeceased by her brother and sister-in-law, Dr. Joseph and Lydia DiNardo; her sister and brother-in-law, Yolanda and Thomas Scaglione; her brother-in-law, John B. Cardamone, Sr. and her nephew, John B. Cardamone, Jr.
A lifelong resident of Hornell, Helen was a graduate of St. Ann’s School and Hornell High School. For many years she assisted in the operation of the former DiNardo Food Market on Loder Street in Hornell. Prior to her retirement she was employed at the former St. James Mercy Hospital in Hornell as a switchboard operator.
Helen was a member of Our Lady of the Valley Parish and was a communicant of St. Ann’s Church in Hornell. While she was married, Helen and her husband Everett enjoyed traveling. She loved the NY Mets and was probably their number one fan.
She is lovingly survived by her sister, Mary Theresa Cardamone of Hornell; her brother and sister-in-law, Domenic and Janet DiNardo of South Carolina; also many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews as well as several cousins.
There will be no calling hours. Relatives and friends are invited to join her family at the Bishop-Johnson & DeSanto Funeral Home, 285 Main St., Hornell where a funeral service will take place at 10 a.m. Monday (July 17, 2023) with Deacon Robert McCormick officiating. Committal prayers and interment will follow at St. Mary’s Cemetery, Town of Fremont.
In lieu of flowers, those wishing may contribute in her memory to St. Ann’s Church of Our Lady of the Valley Parish, 27 Erie Ave., Hornell, NY 14843. Envelopes for memorial contributions will be available at the funeral home.

RIP Helen, enjoyed our visits.
So very sorry to hear of this …
Rest Easy Helen – you were a good friend back in our St James days. I will always remember standing at the swtichboard talking with you … there was always a bit of gossip along with a ton of giggles.
I have known Helen since I was a young boy running errands for Molly Doran. She remained my friend ever since. A kind woman, who was never afraid to tell you what was on her mind. Rest in Peace Helen, peace and blessings.
Helen was such a humorous, kind and a wonderful person. If you needed to know anything about StJames she was the one to come to. She knew where to tell you to go places, phone numbers. Always looked forward to seeing Helen at the switchboard when I was working or if I had someone in the hospital. She was a great asset to St James. Sad to hear of her passing, she is enjoying herself in the great Kingdom.
